ORIGIN

This 2003 BMW M3 Coupe is finished in Silver Grey Metallic over Black Nappa leather and shows 83k miles. Power comes from a 3.2-liter S54 inline-six backed by a 6-speed SMG transmission, and modifications include Status Gruppe coil overs, 19″ Apex wheels, an AFE intake, angel eyes, and tinted windows. Recent work included an Inspection II service, a new water pump and thermostat, reinforcing the rear subframe, and installing polyurethane subframe and differential bushings. The seller is the fifth owner and has added 1,200 miles over the past eight months. This E46 M3 is now offered with some service records, the owner’s manual and booklets, a clean Carfax, and a clear Tennessee title.

The Silver Grey Metallic (A08) finish is believed to be original and blemishes on the front bumper are shown in the gallery. Aftermarket Angel Eyes lights were installed by the previous owner.

The suspension has been modified with adjustable Status Gruppe coilovers and the car rides on 19″ Apex wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires with less than 2k miles.

The Black Nappa leather interior was optioned with electrically adjustable and heated front seats, a center armrest, park distance control, and hi-fi audio with a CD player. Wear is noted on the seat bolsters.

Interior changes include tinted windows, a carbon fiber shifter, and aftermarket shift paddles, and the original items are included. All interior equipment is reported to function correctly, though the front windows are noisy during operation. The digital odometer shows 83k miles.

The S54 3.2 Liter inline-six is paired with an SMG II sequential manual gearbox, and the VANOS was inspected by a dealer and reported to be in good condition. Modifications include an AFE intake and polyurethane differential bushings and mounts, and the original intake and a second set of differential mounts are also included. Recent service consisted of a new water pump, new thermostat, an oil change, and engine and transmission mounts.

The rear subframe was recently reinforced with a kit from Reddish Motorsports that was installed by German Motorworks of Nashville, Tennesee. The seller notes a periodic clunking sound, and attributes it to the rear differential.

The accident-free AutoCheck report shows four previous owners and that the car has spent time in Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. The seller reports that the airbag recall was completed in April 2017.
